So, I hear the testserver has been properly configured, so I connect,
successfully!

  I start poking around and quickly:

 frop:44 $ ls -l /coda/playground/

  banana?

  Anyway, I create a directory (as you can see) and put some source to run a
build in.  I accidentally type make as root (when I had extracted all the files
as "thoth") and it hangs.  I thought it was a caching issue until I interrupted
it and typed make as thoth.  It built, not blazingly fast, but not slow either.
rpm -q -l coda-client lets me know there's a coda-cache command so I turn on
caching and get a 33% decrease in build time.

  So I decide to get back to that wacky root hang thing.

[root_at_frop netpipes4.0]# echo blah | strace dd of=shit

...

stat("/usr/local/share/locale/C/libc.cat", 0xbffff4cc) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("shit", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666 <unfinished ...>

  Strange.  I would have expected at least an error return code.  (I let it
block for several minutes before I finally interrupted it).




  Right now I seem to be hung.  there's quite a bit of stuff showing up in the
log, and pwd does not complete.
